Law and history are essential to understanding past societies as well as contemporary ones in comparative perspective. This workshop will bring together graduate students and faculty who will focus on the transplantation of legal institutions in different historical contexts. This historical work will represent a timely inquiry into current issues related to the “rule of law” and the implementation of democracy in transitional societies.
« Research workshops provide participants with excellent opportunities for networking with scholars in their field.
